Compare the RBA mentioned in the error with the actual size of the trail file on the disk. If the RBA is larger than the file size, the file is definitely truncated. 3. Resolution Strategies
If the source Extract process crashes while writing, it may leave a "short" record at the end of the trail file that lacks the necessary closing tokens.
Restart the Pump; it will automatically rebuild and re-send the missing trail files from the source. ogg-01184 expected 4 bytes but got 0 bytes in trail
This is the most common cause. A trail file may be corrupted due to underlying disk issues, filesystem failures, or an abrupt system shutdown that prevented the Extract from properly closing the file.
Check the GoldenGate Error Log (usually ggserr.log ) to find the specific sequence number and RBA where the error occurred. Compare the RBA mentioned in the error with
If the local trail on the source is corrupted, you must re-position the Extract process to a point in the database logs (SCN or timestamp) prior to the corruption and regenerate the trails. Prevention Best Practices
If the corruption is at the very end of a trail file and the next trail file exists, you can skip the corrupted record: Resolution Strategies If the source Extract process crashes
Always use the STOP command in GGSCI rather than killing OS processes.
